EXHORTED TO DANCE
TURKS OBEY TOO WELL PAPERS CALLING A HALT A few years ago, the Kemalist Government in Turkey, bent on social as well as political Westernisation, was exhorting all Turkey to dance. Now, in the flush of nation-wide retrenchment, inspired by hard times, the official Press is begging the nation to stop dancing, or if dance it must, to dance quietly and frugally at home. It is noted that Constantinople’s mania for charity halls costs the nation in foreign importations for ball gowns, favours and other fripperies, as much as £3,000 a ball, while sub scriptions averaged only one-tenth of that amount for the charity concerned.
